Addington Major as a possible for the trumpet player on the Joe Sims
session, it seems as though JSP is using the Waller discography by
Stephen Taylor to guide them through the project - at least this is
what it says on the Fats Waller yahoo discussion group created by
Linda Fitak (no, I'm not a member, but the archives are publicly
accessible). Taylor apparently initially sold his discography as a
computer file via a now defunct web site (fatswaller.com) still
retrievable via the "wayback machine", but not alas the sample pages.
If I'm not misreading things, the discography has now been
incorporated in a book by Taylor on Fats' radio transcriptions and
airshots, published by Scarecrow press.

Laurie Wright book was as far as I got, and this lists Metcalfe in the
dreaded italics. Can anyone who has the book check to see if major is
listed as a possibility and see if there are any reasons given for
suggesting him.
